Hay Fever and Imagination.

The nervous character of this ast-spread-
ing malady land especially of some of its
victims, who perhaps would escape if they
did not know the time of year, was curl
ously illustrated in the International Med
ical Congress by DR.. J. Mackenzie, of
Baltimore. He stated case of woman
who had been under his care who had al
ways had an attack of hay fever whenever
opposed to the pollen of roses, and even
the sight of it would cause violent at
tack. He caused very perfect artificial
rose to be made, and one morning when
the patient came to the Office, entirely free
from hay fever, he placed the rose near by,
and in less than minute her nostrils were

LITHoSIA, Ga, August II, 1857.
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC Co.. Atlanta, Ga:
Gentlemen-l have been afflicted with
Hceration OF the legs ever since l was a
child, the disease undoubtedly being here
ditary, as my mother suffered from scroful-
Gus symptoms. As l advanced to manhood
my affiiction increased until the malady
became harrassing and painful beyond the
power of words to describe. My right leg
particularly became fearfully involved, the
ftleg being less painfully affected. Finally
about fourteen years ago, the ulcers on my
right leg had eaten through the flesh into
the bone. In order to save my life the doc
tors determined to amputa tie my leg below
the knee. The operation was successfully
performed by DIR. Fl. v. NJ. Miller, OF Atlanta,
loss of my leg gave me only temporary re-
lief. The poison was still In my system and
soon began to show itself again. In a short
time after large ulce rs appeared on my left
leg, covering IL from the knee TO the instep.
Frequently while at work could be tracked
by the blood which oozed from the huge
ulcers, and the sores and rottening holes
were 50 offensive that my fellow workmen
could not stand the stencil and would move
away from me.
Last winter was persuaded to try s. S. s.
AS last effort l consented to do so, and
about seven months ago ] began taking the
Specific. l soon bega n to feel the good effects
OF the medicine, the offensive running began
to grow less and less and finally ceased, the
ulcers healed, my flesh became firm and
solid, and today, after using twenty-on
bottles, am as hale and stout man of my
age as there is in &c orgia. am seventy one
years old. but feel now younger and stronger
than did when was twenty-five. weigh
about 10 pounds. Nothing is to be seen OF
the terrible disease, or to remind me Of the
torture suffered for so many years, except
the scars of the perfectly healed ulcers.
want the world TO know of the almost
miraculous cure effected on me by S. S. s.,
and call upon those who wish to know the
particulars directly from me to write, and
Will consider it a pleasure as well as a duty
to answer their letters. l refer to DIR. w. p.

The Snakes Objected to Fire.

On one of the cold days of last week
John Simons threw on to his fireplace
for backlog large, unsplit oak
stick. The piece had laid for long
time on the wood-pile, but with the ex-
cepton of small hole in decayed
knot on one side of the stick, il was to
all appearances perfectly sound. Sim
ons and his wife sat in front of the fire
place, and soon after the stick had been
thrown on Mrs. Simons startled her
husband with loud scream and Jump
ed quickly on chair, pointing excited
ly ut the backlog. Simons looked,
and to his astonishment saw a snake
coming out of the hole In the knot,
which was on the upper side of the
stick. The log had not begun to blaze
up, and the snake made its escape UNI
injured into the room and squirmed
across to a corner where it coiled itself
up. 1t was quickly followed by two
other snakes, who also got away from
their imperiled wintering- place in safe
ty. They were all rattlesnakes of good
SIZE and the heat had warmed them in
to their normal liveliness and activity.
S.mons killed the three snakes with a
par of tongs. They had twenty-one
rattles among them.

An American Accomplishment.

II is quite trick to jump of train
going say at thirty miles an hour, and
the Americans take pride in cultivat-
ing dexterity in this trick 1t takes
considerable practice before il can be
done successfully. The way to jump
is always with the train and always on
the left-hand side of the latter, letting
the right foot rest on the step, and the
left foot swung from the step. Then
jump so that the left foot will touch the
ground first and the right foot to i'm
mediately follow 1t, so as to be able to
run. Some of the men jump from the
middle of the train or the front, but
most of them go to the rear car and
jump, so that II they fall they will not
roll under the cars. A correspondent
says: The best man ever saw, andt he
only man who could hold his feet and
stop himself without running at all,
was Charles Phillips. He could jump
from train running thirty-fvc miles
an hour, and stop without running q
foot. Court Journal.

Last Saturday, while laboriously en-
gagged in writing leading editorial
with dull pair of shears. the door
opened and in stepped sinful-looking
man, who introduced himself as the
travelling agent for Blank & Co. s
Circus and Aggregation of Living
Wonders. He wanted posters printed
and the way we scattered paper around
and quoted prices was extraordinary
considering the state of the thermome-
ter. He then mildly limited that he
would like to have local not ce in
serted in this weeks edition of the
Bladder, and casually inquired as to
the regulation of said sheet Now if
there is anything upon earth that will
get newspaper man down to hard,
earnest, unmitigated lying. it is that
little question in regard to circulation.
The whole Christian world boiled down
and rolled into one pill might be given
to an editor to swallow and he would
rise superior to its influence and lie
like trooper when asked how many
papers he circulated. So far i'm life we
have taken a low grade with the
fraternity of liars. but on this occasion,
with business as dull and pulseless as
an ordinary town councilman, we even
outstepped the bounds of prudence, and
gathering strength as we went we
swelled our circulation until it rivaled
even that of the New York Sun And
then the bogus agent went in
to commissions of laughter and clapping
us on the shoulder yelled, Let up,
or you'll kill me! Don't you know
me? 1 just wanted to hear you lie once
